    Sensible post les but get your tin hat ready, the idiots may be here very soon 😂

    Call me an idiot if you like, but I am not buying “they are a better side than us” you can play better sides and lose fighting for the cause, but to bend over and accept it like our players did on Saturday is completely unacceptable, I have seen many poor performances from Scunthorpe sides over the years but that was the worst of all by some distance.

    Where was the pride? the passion? the desire? absolutely disgusting from every single player with the possible exception of Ogle.

    Yes totally agree with that … got to be one of the worst performances ever by a Scunny side we were absolutely crap in every way shape n form total lack of fight or pride zilch it was an embarrassment.
    Whilst im still praying for the miracle in reality its hard to see a positive outcome and rather like an old milk horse being led to the knackers yard waiting for that final bullet to finish it off..its that depressing.

    All this free hit nonsense is just bollocks , there should be no free hits ever and the players should turn up and give 110% every game. The Notts performance had zero positives it was shambolic in every way EXCEPT THE FANS who turned out on mass and were let down badly… on to York on Tuesady and i hope this total drubbing hasnt knocked any survival thoughts / confidence gained from the Wealdstone win.
    Anything else than 3 points and IMO and i hope im wrong we will be going down again this term. As mentioned on another thread take away all the loan players then a few will leave such as Butters n Wilson etc we will be left with the youngsters and a smattering from this current bunch of leftovers.. if thats the case life in the NLN will be very tough and we could stuck there for quite some time … im normally a glass half full type but it could take years , decades for the club to get back into the EFL proper maybe not in my lifetime ..yes even with the bright spot when Mr Hilton bought n saved the club things are still that gloomy.

    Sad times indeed and the fat lady is ironing her frock ready to perform in the very near future.

    This was a match that was over after 10 minutes, in fact it was probably over in the dressing room before taking to the pitch, I listened to it on RH, and Scunny never had a shot on target during the 90 mins, in fact only had one shot during the whole game, it must have been so boring, to be outplayed for the full game after taking the trip to Nottingham.
    The only good point for you guys, was that you didn’tt have to listen to “really really” Cox, who moaned for the full broadcast, it wouldn’t be so bad, but when he was the manager, the team and asewt up was bloody terrible, but he appears to thgink that he knows everything right now.

    Indeed the HR commentary was hard listening in respect to just how outclassed Scunny were and more so as stated above Cox terrible warblings of really really n be btave braver really got on my tits , i remember his time as manager , it was torrid but he seems to have all the answers now vis the radio mic.

    Thanks for the commentary link Rene .. its pretty painful listening so far … however the most annoying part is Neil Cox constant use of the word brave or braver ..lost count already .

    A big concern for me is how our players cope with a big crowd. Very few of them will have experienced such an atmosphere, I hope they don’t freeze.

    A valid point .. may take them a while to settle down after the initial nerves and tension.

    Team should be announced about what time .. 8pm here 2 hours to KO

    If chappo does play surely JD will have to have another keeper on the bench something he normally doesnt run with…

    I hope hes fit to start, if hes out its a big blow , what do members think re Foster stepping in ,it would worry me a wee bit, there was a mention of another keeper

    Was gonna try to make a prediction on JDs starting 11 n subs but with Chappo a real doubt,other niggly injuries and the couple of new guys it would be guesswork.

    As for a score .. my head says we loose 3-1 but my heart says 2-2 or 3-2 to Scunny.

    Hope all traveling Iron fans have a great day and sing yer hearts out for the boys.

    so potentially after the York fixture we could be without a target/hold up man up front ?? Gerry is a mere memory also.

    Did Barrow sign a striker ? if not they could well want Bennett back.

    40 goals scored in the last 13 fixtures between the pair.

    3 goals per game.

    I’d go with 3 goals plus Saturday.

    I’d love it to be 1-3 @ 80/1

    I’d be happy with 3-3 @ 66/1

    this aint gonna be a 0-0 or 1-0 .. im seeing a few goals in my crystal ball.

    im going for 2-2 at this moment

    Chapman fit or not ?? need his experience in front of a big crowd.

    Rene PLEASE dont forget my commentary link ok .. :)

    obviously i truly hope we can survive in the NL this season ..however if the unthinkable happens and its NLN what are the thoughts of supporters with regard to if the club will loose fans and attendances will decrease ? or building on from new ownership , manager and players will support increase as it seems to have done with higher attendances than whilst in the ELF…imagine the Iron in NLN taking similar numbers away as at the moment , in a perverse sort of way it may be an exciting time to be a fan.

    Im confident the downward spiral will end this season whether in the NL or NLN the club will bounce back in the seasons to come… ALA Luton , Stockport and the like.

    UTI .. hope its a great week for the Iron and the fans at Notts County and York expecting them to create a great atmosphere at both games.

    One of my mates has two spare tickets with hospitality for the Notts County game. He didn’t realise when he bought them that it was going to be the same day as his wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place.

    It’s at Scunthorpe Registry Office, at 2.30pm. The bride’s name is Moira, she’s 5’6″, about 8 stone, quite pretty, has her own income and is a really good cook.

    BRILIANT ..BOOM BOOM ..that made me chortle for several seconds

    Richgy when you were 2 nowt down you had a great chance to get a goal back buy missed .. again at 4-0 another glorious chance to score .. alas not to be , im sure regardless of the result most Cods will have enjoyed the experience.

    Not overly keen on that pink kit ..nearly as bad as the Scunny yellow monstrosity.

    directly after the great performance n win against Wealdstone seems Jimmy may be tinkering with that winning line up … i hope whatever he does works out after all he gets paid to make those decisions.

    Not whinging and pleased to se Mr Hilton is pushing right to the end to keep the club in the NL.

    just noticed we have to play Oldham at GP on 10th April …. i hope Nuttal and or Devarn Green dont come back to haunt us .. Nuttal scoring a winner in front of the Donny rd end may not go down too well.. looking all other fixtures if we can replicate yesterdays performance all winnable with Notts County being the only one thats really asking a tad too much though they are slipping up at the vital time and handing the promotion place to Wrexham on a plate at the mo.
